RetroFM (blue, Barbarian, Fortress, Dungeon) def Sir Kien (red, Castle, Valkyrie, Valkyrie) 2SM4D(3) 141

The map was large... In the Necropolis, they gave out artifacts. Fortress didn't have a ballista, but in the tavern, there was a Gremlin with three stacks of Goblins. Dungeon arrived at the tavern at 121, immediately went for boots and gloves (girls like to dress nicely), took an Angel, 8 Wyverns, then 12, took some un-upgraded secondary units from the opponent, and on 136, "unexpectedly" captured the opponent's castle. If the opponent hadn't built anything on 136, I would have built Monks and on 137, Angels. But instead, on 137, Dungeon took a third Gryphon Rider and returned to the castle with a normal amount of movement points left. On 141, the opponent approached... As he said, he received a Titan's Gladius in the Necropolis. I didn't have a speed boost, but I had a mass slow effect.

Thank you for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Inferno, Calh, Calh) def Monstro (Blue, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.6.

We started playing a long time ago, so I don't remember. After finishing the game, I was standing near the Dragon Utopia, so I take it (earth book+shield +4 to all), and since there was nowhere else to go, I broke the ГО in the form of giants and came to my opponent. He happened to be taking 2 cons just before that. I attack with handcuffs and explosion decides it with grands.
Thanks for the game!

invisible (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Turis, Turis) 2sm4d(3) 145

Confirmed.
Indeed, the explosion and Grand units left no chance for the 8 Angels and the rest of the army.
Thank you for the game, Sergey :smile02:

RetroFM (blue, Barbarian, Gurney, Dessa) def Sir Kien (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4D(3) 141

The map was large... In the graveyard, they gave out artifacts. Gurney didn't have a ballista, but in the tavern, there was a Gremlin with three stacks of Goblins. Dessa arrived at the tavern on day 121, immediately went for the Boots and Gloves (girls like to dress nicely), took an Angel, 8 Wyverns, then on day 12, she took the unguarded secondary castle and on day 136, she "unexpectedly" captured the opponent's castle. If the opponent hadn't built anything on day 136, I would have built Monks and on day 137, Angels. But instead, on day 137, Dessa took a third Gryphon Rider and returned to the castle with enough time to complete almost a full turn. On day 141, the opponent approached... As he said, he received the Titan's Gladius in the graveyard. I didn't have a speed boost, but I had a mass slow.

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed. The map turned out to be not very good again. But there was a stable and a place to hide archers - I didn't restart. As it turned out, the opponent's map was three times better. He searched the crypt and the Naga Bank. In vain. He was out of the fight for a long time - only 29 archers remained. The mine with wood was not captured in time, and the cavalry arrived on the second week. Unexpectedly, he found the Titan's Gladius in the graveyard. If it hadn't been for my mistake, I could have put up a good fight. But I didn't make it to the city in time and was defeated.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Smoke_mk (Blue, Castle, Waleska, Waleska), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.2. Everything was in place for victory: two maxed-out heroes and one almost maxed-out, and angels on week 2, archangels on week 4... but something didn't work out... :smile39: Thanks for the game.

It was

Tournament "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"

Dreamcatcher (Necropolis, Sandro, Isra) def Gamer-Kirill (Rampart, Coronius, Kirr) 1-3-3 2sm4d(3)

Complete randomness. Started from the top, and it was great. Isra was immediately offered navigation, and he couldn't refuse. Thanks for the tough match, 2-1

invisible (red, dungeon, Shakhter, Shakhter) def OUTLAW (blue, rampart, Mephala, Mephala) 2sm4d(3) 144
We started without restarts. I was born on the street with three stacks + an external dwelling of Troglodytes near the castle, totaling 170 Troglodytes. On the first day, I upgraded them and moved forward. I had a lot of gold, broke into the underground, picking up 2 Dwarf Cottages (100+75 Dwarves) along the way, a couple of crypts, and leveled up nicely: first I got Armor, then Earth Magic, and then Logistics. I took Inferno as a secondary town in the underground. End of the first week: in my main town, Gremlins with a Citadel, in the secondary town, Demons with a Citadel (accidentally built a Citadel instead of Efreeti:smile35: ). My opponent had a secondary Dungeon town, and I had just revealed a passage to the Dungeon lands. I came up with a plan to go on the second week and take it from Mephala, especially since I already had 200+ Troglodytes available and good stats. From the observation post, I revealed a treasure zone with Wings for 100 Crusaders, which also guarded a Preserve:smile03: The Dungeon turned out to be behind the mountains, and Shakhter just wasted time :(. So, I split off in my main town to buy a spellbook, take a Pandora's Box guarded by a horde of Orcs near the castle, and go for the Wings. And I sent a scout hero on 2 Harpies with archery around the mountains. Then Torgrim chases him off with 3+3 Dendroid Soldiers. It was a fun battle :), they chased the Harpies for about 10 minutes, but morale decided it, and my scout hero retreated, killing one Dendroid. Shakhter enters the treasury on day 133, kills the Crusaders without Mass Slow, takes the Wings, a minimal Preserve :(, a couple of Pandora's Boxes (35 Rakshasa +15k experience), a Shield +6, a Sword +5, visits the Library and... It's day 136, I have 2000+ gold income, but I didn't find any Utopias or Naga Banks, so in case of breaking through the ГО, I don't have gold for growth. There is one explored Preserve in the underground. So, on day 137, the main hero flies to the Well, which is next to the ГО, on Harpies, and I gave the troops via a complex chain to a scout hero without a spellbook, who takes a trash Preserve. I lost all the Rakshasa and an Angel. I'm not too upset, since morale wasn't great anyway. On day 141, I transfer troops to Shakhter, buy troops from my main castle + Efreeti (without the new week's growth :)). Then from three sides via chains I transfer everything to Shakhter, who flies over the ГО, but the opponent's castle is not visible :(. If he had attacked me at that moment, I would have lost. Turn passes, I breathed a sigh of relief, visited the Stables, and fly into the underground, taking the Golden Bow (which was previously revealed by me, and also by Mephala!!!). Mephala transfers to the secondary town, pulls up troops and... is three hexes short of reaching Shakhter. Meanwhile, Shakhter defeats the Black Knights guarding an artifact +4 to Spell Power and a Graveyard, but I don't take the artifact itself, afraid that Mephala will catch up. Mephala has Spell Power = 1, so she really needs this artifact, but she doesn't reach it :smile03: On my next turn, I sell all resources, buy what I can afford, take the armor from under Mephala's nose, and attack. In the final fight, I had much higher stats, 7 Efreeti, 8 Manticores, 19 Medusa Queens, 10 Beholders, 3 Angels, 260 Gr. Troglodytes, 12 Gr. Harpies. Igor had 30+1 Gr. Pegasi, 12 Gr. Unicorns, 38 Dendroids, 10 Beholders, 45 Grand Elves. Mephala had Advanced Tactics, while I had Expert :smile03: So, I corner the shooters, block the Grand Elves with Angels, who never even got to shoot. Then a standard shooting gallery under Mass Slow with the Golden Bow.
Thanks for the interesting game!

Javdet (Blue, Swamp, Bronze, Pier) def Lider1 (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 1-3-6

Confirmation

Thanks for the game.

Javdet (Red, Feast) def Lider1 (Blue, Swamp, Bron) 2sm4d(3), 1-1-7

Quite a generous respawn for Inferno, consa, Dragon Utopia, although I had to fight through 84 hobbits on the first day. Took a +4 sword, speed +1 from the start, but the opponent lost their troops and surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

Sir RetroFM (Castle, Valerius, Valerius) def. Sir Pit in sake of LM 214 (Swamp, Bronze, Bronze):smile19:

I placed Angels on the second turn and three Cannons. I was lucky that my opponent didn't want to come earlier... I was thinking about upgrading my Angels... But I didn't have time...

Thank you for the good game... )))
Sincerely, Eugene.

Sir RetroFM (blue, Castle, Valerica, Valerica) def. Sir Pit - in sake of LM (swamp, Bron, Bron), 2sm4d(3), 214. Confirmed. Bron moved slowly and constantly went in the wrong direction... Both hives and the conservatory that were found turned out to be minimal... Bron didn't learn any decent magic, and in the final battle, he almost had no chance, although his army was larger - 7 Hydras, 22 Wyverns, 19 Gorgons, 42 Royal Basilisks, 57 Dragon Scorpions, 60 Lizardmen, and 1 Angel against 9 Angels, 17 Champions, 17 Monks, and 20 Archers. The battle was decided by mass slowing, blinding, a slight advantage in stats, and the lack of serious magic on my side - even healing or dispelling wasn't available with expert water magic... In general, the opponent played better. Thank you for the game.

Javdet (Red, ПиR) def Lider1 (Blue, Swamp, Bron) 2sm4d(3), 1-1-7

For Inferno, it was a generous respawn, Griffin Conservatory, Dragon Utopia, though I had to break through 84 hobbits on the first day. I took a +4 sword, +1 speed from the start, but my opponent lost his troops and surrendered.

That's right! I sat down to play without finishing chatting on ICQ, and paid the price for it ))) (the saying about two hares). And my opponent showed me nothing short of nobility! Respect! We started crossing out factions; I missed that I hadn't crossed out Conflux. He had a choice between Inferno and Conflux, and he kindly let me know he would play as Inferno.

I went around killing neutrals, reached the next respawn, and attacked monsters that I barely managed to beat (had native secondary skills there). But since the start was hopelessly lost (no gold, Gorgons not built, Hydras/Dwarf also not built(( ), I decided not to continue.

Thanks for the game!
